I have Backup Exec 2010 R3 installed on Windows 2008 R2. This is our legacy tape backup solution before we went to a disk based system. I have hundreds of tapes and keep Backup Exec around for old restores. We used to have a NetApp with CIFS shares and backed them up to tape via NDMP backups. The NetApp has been replaced with a new Nimble SAN. I am trying to do a restore of files from the NetApp tapes, since I don't have a NetApp anymore I am trying to restore to a Windows box. I get the error below. How can I restore NetApp NDMP tapes to a Windows system?

e0001315 - An invalid destination was specified for the redirected restore. NDMP backup sets can only be redirected to an NDMP server of the same brand.

Your best bet it to call Veritas support or look on their forums. The error does appear to be self explanatory though. If you're going to keep around legacy backup technology, you should probably keep all of it...

For anyone that finds my post here and runs into the same issue I was able to get my files restored by using a NetApp Simulator VM. Someone on another forum pointed me to it and it took some time to get working but I was able to get the files back without a physical NetApp.
